Wow!
Thanks for posting both versions with an explanation.
I’m from Bakersfield. Knew Merle and Bonnie and a few members of his band. Also knew Buck and his sons some. Bakersfield was a smaller place back then.
Back when this song came out, CBS news made a trip to Muskogee, found a pot smoking hippie and interviewed him.
My Father-in-law and wife were driving from Plano TX to Tulsa when her water broke in Muskogee, so my brother-in-law always hid his head in shame when that song was played as he was born there.
I have a 45 of Merle and Bonnie singing “Just Between the Two of Us” on Tolly records with Bonnie’s autograph on the label.
